When Your Way Isn't Working

Finding Purpose and Contentment through Deep Connection with Jesus

Read by the author.

Equips you to discover authentic connection to God and others so that you can be free to live the life you long for.

When you are worn-out, when you feel discouraged, when you think you don't have what it takes, what is the one thing that Jesus wants you to never forget?

In some of his final words to his closest friends, Jesus didn't suggest a five-year plan for success or a checklist of things to do. Instead, he offered a metaphor about what the good life really looks like: I am the vine. You are the branches. Abide in me. In other words, No matter what happens next, the most important thing is to stay connected to me.

In When Your Way Isn't Working, pastor and bestselling author of Not a Fan Kyle Idleman offers a unique exploration of John 15 for all of us who are going through the motions and feel frustrated. Idleman reminds us that it's connection, not production, that leads to a fruitful life--relationships, not circumstances, that bring joy. He offers his distinctive, biblical perspective on how to:

• Find greater rest, depth, and connection in your life
• Embrace freedom from the pressures of performance and production
• Recognize what you can't do makes room for what God can do
• Step out of isolation even when it feels scary
• Discover the top distractions that keep you from connecting to God--and how to counter them

In the end, the fruit of your life won't have to do with what you accomplished but with whom you stayed connected. Because no matter what happens next in this uncertain world, what matters most, lasts the longest, and brings the greatest joy is staying connected to the God who never leaves you.
